soudns like a great long excuse as to why you shouldnt own a 3G :bwekk:

true. but i wouldn't want a 1G/2G b/c everybody and their momma has one.

yeah. I would still take a viper.

there are certain cars out there that are just *** on wheels. the viper is near or topping that list.

A stratus is not.

of course the list changes for everybody. I mean, look at me, I drive a stealth... :wacko:

Some other funny tidbits...

The 2.4 SOHC from Chrysler/Dodge in the Stratus/Sebring and the Mitsubishi Eclipse 2.4 SOHC are two different engines...

The 3.0 SOHC V6 that Mitsubishi Eclipses use and Stratus R/T coupe and Chrysler Sebring LXi Coupes use are the same, however, Sebring LXi sedans and convertibles use the same 2.7 DOHC found in the Stratus R/T sedan...

The Stratus R/T/Sebring Coupe are based off of the OLD Galant platform...

The 95-00 Sebring LXi/Stratus ES/Avenger Sport/ES used a 2.5 SOHC V6, while the Avenger Base/Sport/ES 4 Cyl./Stratus SE/Sebring LX used a 2.0 DOHC, same engine in the Neon and the 95-99 N/A Eclipse...the 1st gen Eclipse used a N/A 4G63...

Yeah, I have too much time on my hands, but this is what happens when your family all drive Mopar and you drive a Mitsubishi!

umm... nope, sorry, didnt happen. some 1st gen N/A eclipses used a Mitsu SOHC 1.8L engine, but that was the 4G6.. most of the N/A DSMs used a Chrysler 420A engine, not a Mitsu engine at all. N/A GS Sypders and (i believe) the Talon ESi got a Mitsu engine called the 4G64 that was a 2.4L version of the N/A 4G63. all of the turbo'd DSMs did use a 4G63 but Mitsu added a "T" to the designation to denote that it was a turbo'd model, however, the 4G63 found in an Evo isnt considered "T" model, despite its turbos... confusing? **** yes. pointless? that too

Yeah, it is pointless; however, my friend had a N/A 4G63 in his '92 Eclipse...

The Talons used the same engines found in the '95-'99 Eclipse Spyder GS, the SOHC 2.4, also used in the Galant. Not to be an ****, but if you want to check my accuracy on the second part go to http://www.consumerguide.com/autos

how are they different? when you say eclipse 2.4 SOHC, which one are you talking about...the 97-99 spyder engine or the 00+ engine?

I mean the 00-05 ones, we had a tech talk bulletin at my school explaining how the oil filters are different filters and they screw on in different places.

so how do the oil filters screw in on the stratus 4G64?

OK, let me specify, sorry. The thread pitch is different on the Mitsubishi engine than the Dodge engine, and it's in a different place than the block. The Mitsubishi engine is a SOHC, the Dodge is a DOHC. That's where it's different. Sorry for any confusion! Here's where it shows the four different engine sizes!

ok...i am specifically talking about the stratus coupe. maybe i should have mentioned that.

AH...I know the sedan has the 2.4 DOHC, the coupe because it's an Eclipse has the 2.4SOHC. :gunsmilie: Sweet...

i forget that the stratus also has a sedan line

It's all good, the Stratus sedan and Sebring sedan share engines, while the two coupes and the Eclipse share engines. This is why the Stratus/Sebring coupes have ceased production, the new Eclipse is a totally new platform.

yea those 97 gs-t allwheel drive is all fast till u hit a tree, the 3G is more designed for safty u can talk when u crash..lol

Except a gst isn't awd.

GS-t AWD = GSX

**** idk i dont study my cars all day gsx wutever

I am sure he doesn't, either, but he was just trying to clear up some confusion. That would be like me saying "yeah, I drive an '03 Lancer" But forgetting to state the "ES" part and confusing it with "EVO VIII". Or, me saying I worked on a "3-series" but not stating it was a 330i and not a 325i.
